RedTwilight Posted August 11, 2014 Report Share Posted August 11, 2014 I know it's not the SN95 but I already know the color I'm going to repaint that.I'm throwing around the idea of painting my '93 Coupe. I'm thinking of doing it or most of it myself. I'm having a hard time figuring out what color I want to paint it however.The colors I have in mind are Metallic Silver, Metallic Dark Shadow Gray, Candy Blue, or Honda North Shore Blue Pearl. All colors except DSG the center of the cowl will be painted black with some airbrushing on it.The good thing about the silver I will not have to worry about the jambs. But there are a lot of silver coupes out there!I'm not planning on perfect show quality paint. Just something decent looking.So let me know what you think or feel free to post any other color choices.Examples are taken from the internet and are colors as close as I can find.Silver Metallic[ATTACH=CONFIG]50015[/ATTACH]Dark Shadow Gray[ATTACH=CONFIG]50013[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]50014[/ATTACH] Candy Bluehttp://www.boldride.com/ride/1967/ford-mustang-blue-boss-custom#gallery/5[ATTACH=CONFIG]50017[/ATTACH][ATTACH=CONFIG]50018[/ATTACH]Honda North Shore Blue Pearl[ATTACH=CONFIG]50019[/ATTACH]http://images.gtcarlot.com/gtgallery/photo.php?id=37816509http://houstonhondadealers.com/media/models/63/2013%20Honda%20CR-Z%20Exterior%20North%20Shore%20Blue%20Pearl.jpg[ATTACH=CONFIG]50020[/ATTACH] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedTwilight Posted August 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 i vote pacific metallic blue. i vote pacific metallic blue. That is a great color! But it's a little lighter shade than what I want on the fox. I vote sterling gray metallic like the new mustangsAwesome color also! The darker gray metallic colors will fit the Punisher scheme a little better. i love the Honda color!I've been leaning toward this or the Ford Focus Candy Blue. With the center of the cowl in gloss black with blue true fire. So far I've narrowed it down to Metallic Gray or a Bluish colorI've still got a bit of time to decide.

Sleeperstang1994 Posted August 28, 2014 Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 the focus candy blue is to cotton candy for me. I liked it at first. However seeing it all the time in the shop now im definitely turned off to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whiplash473 Posted August 30, 2014 Report Share Posted August 30, 2014 If you end up going with silver (thinking you won't have to worry about the jambs) then at least get some Dart foam tape. It's hard to explain but it creates a soft line in the jamb so you don't have just an overspray line in the jamb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whiplash473 Posted August 30, 2014 Report Share Posted August 30, 2014 You have to scuff further in than where the line is and then buff out the jamb after paint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ttocs Posted August 31, 2014 Report Share Posted August 31, 2014 well on the idea of a different color I am not a guy that loves green normally in my daily life but I have never fallen out of love with the sn Deep forest green myself. I love how it goes from green to black depending on the light and the angle you cat it at. It has just enough blue pearl in it to be interesting/different from any other green I have seen.

RedTwilight Posted September 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2014 Thanks for the other option. Though green is not really my color either! Although the one above does look pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
